Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court directed that students of JSS Medical College, who have completed 4½ years of their MBBS course, be allowed to complete their studies and obtain their degrees, despite the previous ruling in Medical Council of India Vs. JSS Medical College [(2012) 5 SCC 628]. The Court imposed a penalty of Rs. 5 crores on the college for non-compliance with earlier orders, emphasizing that this amount should not be recovered from students. Additionally, the college's admission capacity for the next academic year was reduced from 200 to 150 students to reinforce compliance with regulations.
